In 1994, Hurricane Alberto parked over Central Georgia and dumped approx 36" of rain in about 24 hours. I did insurance claims where flood damaged home miles from creeks and rivers. Most of those people didn’t have flood insurance. I came home from that storm and put a flood policy on my home and told anyone that would listen to me to get and keep flood insurance.
I’m afraid that most of the people in SC that have had flood damage don’t have flood insurance. It’s gonna be bad folks.

Yes. And if you’re not in a flood zone, flood insurance is pretty cheap from what I understand.
If you’re lucky enough to be fishing, you’re lucky enough.
My favorite one.

That’s crazy. Looks like they could really use you especially in the mid-state.

It may be a bit of liability issue?
Go out on your own, you may be ok, go with “officials”, maybe not ok.

Upper Ashley area is in bad shape. Hwy 61 is about to be flooded at Slann’s bridge. Jessen Landing is under a LOT of water

I rode down 17A in Summerville this afternoon right before they closed the bridge. Water was up to the bottom of the bridge and the amount of water along the road ways is scary. There is going to be major problems when the Edisto River crest.
Columbia area around Lower Richland, Forest Acres, Lake Katherine, Rosewood at Garners Ferry, NE Polo Rd and Hard Scrabble, Monticello at I20, Monticello at Fairfield County Line, … geez … We are a totally disaster stricken area. Hard to find a way out of or around anywhere.
All roads crossing the Edisto around Orangeburg are closed. Water is up over most of the bridges and the ones downstream are soon to be that way also. My wife made it across this morning headed to work and 15 minutes later they closed the road. She just made it home by coming across the south fork between Bamberg and Branchvile, but that probably won’t be open much longer.
Everyone downstream near the river needs to get out if you already haven’t.

Father in law with friends have what they called river shack on saluda in Columbia few miles below the (**() and told me today it’s gone along with the boats that we’re sitting in the shed… So much damage throughout the areas really hard to believe. Thought and prayers go out to all…

They are predicting the Edisto to go to 15.7 feet by Saturday. Flood level is 10.0’.
Nothing like kicking people when they are down… some of the homes that where evacuated in shadowmoss and other areas have now been looted. I’d like to put some good old country boy justice on those POS thieves.
Keep an eye out for your neighbors and those who can’t be in their homes!

We must have been close to each other Andy. We barely made it back before they closed it. Right now I’m not sure how you can get across the Ashley without going west a long way. The water was rising fast in the woods and about to go over the road when we passed
